Wrapping the Dip?

I promise that this is the last post regarding the apples, cinnamon and dip! But, if you like the dip idea & you like the ‘cinnamoned’ apple idea, you’re going to love this simple tweak that turns this combination into a whole other recipe.

I, along with millions of other parents, have birthed a child that does not like bread; unless it’s been toasted or part of a grilled cheese sandwich. Isn’t it funny the lengths that we go through to feed our kids? It’s constant trialerror. And, every time I thought I had it all under control, the next child came forward with a whole new set of taste buds. It is so true ‘that what works for one, does not work for the other’. And, thus the bread dilemma has sent me on a search of lunch alternatives. The tortilla wrap (THANK GOODNESS) is an acceptable replacement for bread for my youngest. However, lunch meat is a ‘thumbs down’ option for her and thus the search for filling the tortilla became a whole new endeavor. Here is one filling that has been an occasional rotation in the lunch box.

Wrapping the Dip by Jodie Fitz

1 flour tortilla

1 tablespoon cream cheese, whipped

2 tablespoons Peanutty-Dipper

1 small apple

Spread the cream cheese evenly on the tortilla. Add an even layer of the pea-nutty dipper. Slice the apple and place it on the dip leaving room around the edge for rolling. Roll, cut and serve.

Note: You will probably only use ½ of the apple in slices for one wrap.

Pea-nutty Dipper by Jodie Fitz

2 tablespoons low fat vanilla yogurt

1 tablespoon peanut butter

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 medium sized banana or apple

Stir the low fat vanilla yogurt, peanut butter and cinnamon together. Send in the lunchbox in a small storage container and serve with a banana or sliced apple for dipping.

This recipe makes one individual serving.

Sliced Apples: Send sliced apples to school in a snap & seal bag with cinnamon tossed in the bag.
